## Overview

R&F Handmade Paints Encaustic Medium is a premium, pigment-free blend of pharmaceutical-grade beeswax and Singapore damar resin, designed to extend encaustic colors and create stunning transparent or opaque layers. Melting between 158°F and 166°F, it offers exceptional durability, moisture resistance, and the unique ability to be reworked with heat indefinitely. Ideal for mixed media, sculptural applications, and layering techniques, this 1-pound USA-made medium empowers artists to craft luminous, enduring encaustic masterpieces.

## Description

R&F Encaustic Medium 1-pounds is encaustic paint without the pigment. It is used to extend colors in order to create transparencies. The damar in this medium helps prevent blooming and maintain the hardness of the film. R&F Encaustic paint is composed of 100% pure pharmaceutical grade beeswax, Singapore-grade damar resin and chemically pure pigments. Beeswax is impervious to moisture making encaustic paint extremely durable. There is no need to varnish or protect your painting with glass. It will not deteriorate, yellow or darken. Encaustic paint is kept molten on a heated palette. It is then applied to an absorbent surface and is fused to create a variety of effects. Encaustic goes from a liquid to solid state and back again in seconds giving you the opportunity to add layers without disrupting your composition. Once the surface has cooled, the paint has reached a permanent finish, but with heat, you can revise and rework your painting minutes or years later! This highly versatile medium can be polished to a high gloss, carved, scraped, layered, collaged, dipped, cast, modeled, sculpted, textured and combined with oil.

Review: Wonderful product - I love this product! It is perfect for my encaustic art @degreesbykelli I buy it again and again. Melts well and works great with colors.
Review: I love this product! - I want to learn encaustic so but don't have the cash to invest. I realized thought hat I love the look of clear wax on my mixed media work, and so I purchased this encaustic medium. I am so pleased that I did! I just use a small mini crock pot for melting, and I use this on my mixed media pieces. I love the looks that I can using either the medium by itself or mixed with pigments. I am still hankering for a real encaustic set, but this has been a great starting point for me. I was able to verify that wax is medium that really does hold interest for me without spending much money to find out! The product melts quickly (even in my little crock pot) and smoothly - excellent quality as all R&F products are.!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product by a leader in encaustic
*by A***. on April 6, 2021*

I had taken a workshop with a R&F artist and got the chance to use all their products. You could mix your own, but I didn't want to deal with that - so this is really easy. The small bags are easy to store. They are expensive - but you're paying for the convenience. I've found the R&F to be a harder surface than Evans - and each has it's own benefits.
